I suppose it is "within the realm of possibility" that the ISS is nothing but a hoax, but I find the prospect so highly unlikely that I'm going to live my life assuming it is not a hoax, just like I'm going to live my life not worrying about being eaten by a shape-shifter alien tree.

The difference is that there is zero evidence for that, but there is some evidence for a ISS hoax.

Just the other day I watched and listened to a discussion between some people about the NASA lies. And some of these statements go very far and would the NASA lie be immense if any of it true.
This guy is convinced that the ISS and everything connected with it such as spaceshuttles and russian escape pods are a lie. I can not explain to you all the physics involved which make such technology impossible but when I see a movie like Gravity anything is possible.
Bit lengthy but watch this one..
You know, I have a confession to make. When I first hear somebody say that putting a man on the Moon and have him safely return to the Earth is impossible I didn't give it much thought and knew for certain that this person has his wiring crossed somewhere. But now that I have researched it to some extent myself I see myself sitting on this fence.
Concerning this doubt about the ISS I still think these people have too much fantasy. But then again.. there is a group of criminals active in this world with the resources of a nation. A group of people able to kill an US president and get away with it, murder some 3000 innocent hard working americans of which many policemen and firemen and get away with it. When lies are this big and protected anything is possible.... and anything worth a second thought. But these murders is not what this thread is about...
What do guys make of it..? I suggest to watch the YT-vid or an other shorter version on the same subject before telling me I am wasting my time.
For comparison, here's a taste of what is possible in Hollywood...

It's hard to pin down! Travelling at thousands of miles an hour is pure metal. In a void of no significant changes would make it experimental jazz. Racing into the unknown could be prog-rock like Yes or some early Floyd like Echoes.
Or...
The computers back then where giant rooms and it barely did any calculations.

I don't claim to be an expert, but I did study aerospace engineering for my BS. I can tell you that it is possible to orbit the earth as satellites and such. Very doable. Going to the moon and back in the 60 is impossible. The computers back then where giant rooms and it barely did any calculations. I think even if we tried today it would still be difficult.
Just ask yourself... why hasn't any other country try to put a man on the moon? We can argue the USA has already done it so we don't need to do it again, but why hasn't any other country do it? Because it is actually impossible. The radiation belt would cook the astronaut like a baked potato. We can't explore out own ocean and you think we can go to the moon?

Having said that there are several manned missions planned.
If they come to fruition or not is another story...
